Looks good to me.

I have one point with the *time_t* format. - FYI, the 32-bit integer 
value has a final date of  2106-02-07 07:28:15 CEST. People, this is 
less than 100 years from now! :) - I'ld strongly suggest to declare the 
64-bit value as a valid alternative for time_t. Note that this does not 
conflict existing 32-bit values in little endian orientation. Readers 
just may detect the length of a value; also readers who only read the 
first 4 bytes still gain the correct values (until 2106).
